Kris Jenner & Kendall Jenner M.I.A. From Kardashian Christmas Card

Santa’s elves were working overtime to deliver the gift that nobody knew they really wanted, the 2018 Kardashian Christmas card!

After Kris Jenner, and then Kim Kardashian, announced to the world there would be no annual Kardashian photo … a tradition the reality TV world has grown to depend on every holiday season.

After fans arose such a clamor, it appears the famous sisters delivered, without their matriarch. Kim revealed the shot Monday morning, on Christmas Eve, showing Kim, Khloé, Kourtney and Kylie all surrounded by their brood.

Kris Jenner is not shown, along with Rob Kardashian, who has been off the annual photo ever since Blac Chynasmashed his gingerbread house.

Auntie Kendall is also not shown, but Kim kind of explained that say, “Kendall and my mom rushed to a meeting after this shoot so this is what we have.”

Kendall joked (we think) about not being in the photo when she tweeted the pic and added, “HA well this is awkward.”
